2003 FORD EXCURSION Fuel System Diesel Problems

THE 2003 FORD EXCURSION 6.0 LITER DIESEL, FIRST BROKE DOWN WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE DEALER WHO WAS WORKING ON RECALL ITEMS. THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 2 MILES FROM THE DEALER (DEALER NOW OUT OF BUSINESS). AFTER A WHILE THE VEHICLE BEGAN LOSING POWER, BUT NOT STALLING WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY UP HILLS. AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS TO CLEAN PARTS, EGR VALVE ETC, IT WAS STATED THAT THE INJECTORS WERE BAD. ALL INJECTORS REPLACED. FRONT MAIN LEAF SPRING BROKE ON THE VEHICLE, AND HAD TO BE REPLACED - THE SPRING WAS NO LONGER AVAILABLE, -THE REPAIR FACILITY STATED THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN HISTORICALLY UNDERSIZED, AND THEY STOPPED MAKING THE ORIGINAL SPRING, BECAUSE TOO MANY WERE BREAKING. WE THEN AGAIN STARTED EXPERIENCING A LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING - AT THIS TIME MY KIDS WERE DRIVING THE CAR, AND THIS WAS PARTICULARLY WORRISOME. MY REPAIR SHOP SENT THE VEHICLE...

MY 2003 FORD EXCURSION WITH A 6.0L DIESEL HAS BEEN SURGING AND WILL STALL SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. IT HAS CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR COLLISIONS. THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE ICP SENSOR. APPARENTLY THIS WAS RECALLED IN 2004 MODELS AND NEWER BUT NOT THE 2003 MODEL. I FEEL THAT I HAVE FALLEN THROUGH THE CRACKS BECAUSE FORD DIDN'T START INSTALLING THE 6.0L IN THE 2003 MODEL UNTIL LATE IN THE MODEL YEARS. SEEMS LIKE THEY FORGOT ABOUT ME AND MY TRUCK HAS THE EXACT SAME DANGEROUS CONDITION AS THE 2004 MODELS. *TR

2003 FORD EXCURSION LIMITED WITH 6.0L DIESEL ENGINE. ONLY TWO WEEKS AGO, MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SURGE IN ACCELERATION AT BOTH IDLE AND WHILE CRUISING. IT HAS ALSO BEGUN TO STALL OUT AT BOTH IDLE AND WHILE CRUISING. ALSO THE VEHICLE HAS BEGUN TO HAVE A STRONG SMELL OF DIESEL FUEL WHICH ENTERS THE PASSENGER CABIN AT START UP. MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEGUN TO LIGHT UP AND I CHECKED THE LIGHT WITH A DIGITAL DIAGNOSTIC CODE READER. THE CODE WAS P2285 (INJECTOR CONTROL PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW). THE SITUATION IS QUITE DANGEROUS. MY WIFE HAD COMPLAINED THAT THE VEHICLE SURGED AHEAD AND SHE ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN I DROVE THE VEHICLE, IT ALSO BEGAN TO BUCK AND SURGE IN BOTH FORWARD AND REVERSE. WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED REARWARD AND ONLY BY MY...

MY 2003 EXCURSION HAD A MAJOR TURBO FAILURE WHILE TRAVELING ON I-10 ON 12-26-03. MY FAMILY AND MYSELF WERE TRAVELING TO HOUSTON. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD A TOTAL OF 1,049 LIFE TO DATE MILES. WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE FOR ABOUT 30 TO 45 MINUTES WE HEAR A LARGER POP NOISE AND A LARGE DROP IN THE ENGINE POWER. I ONLY HAD A FLASH OF A DASH LIGHT AND IT WENT RIGHT BACK OFF. I WAS TRYING TO GET OFF THE INTERSTATE. WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25 TO 35 MPH TRYING TO GET TO THE NEXT EXIT. NOTICE LARGE VOLUME OF SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I PULLED OVER ASAP AFTER SEEING THIS. THE SMOKE CAME INTO THE CAB FROM THE VENTILATION SYSTEM (A/C). PULLED MY DAUGHTER FROM THE VEHICLE, ALSO HAD MY WIFE GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT RELEASED THE HOOD LOCK, CHECKING THE HEAT...

I HAVE A 2003 FORD EXCURSION THAT WHILE DRIVING JUST SHUTS MOTOR OFF AND YOU LOSE STEERING AND BRAKES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. NO WARNING AT ALL. FORD NOT VERY CONCERNED WITH IT AND BEING VERY ELUSIVE ABOUT WHATS WRONG. I CAN NOT GET AN ANSWER JUST KEEP TELLING ME THEY ARE FIXING IT, AFTER THEY FIXED IT IT BROKE DOWN ON THEM ON THE TEST DRIVE, AND STILL NOT WILLING TO TELL ME WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO TRUCK OTHER THAN DONT WORRY ABOUT IT ITS UNDER WARRANTY. I GUESS IT IS NOT A CONCERN TO THEM AS LONG THEIR FAIMLY IS NOT IN FRONT OF ME WHEN I CANT STOP VEHICLE DUE TO REASONS THEY DONT WANT TO TALK ABOUT. ALSO ASKED TO TALK TO OWNER OF DEALERSHIP BUT HE IS UNAVAILABLE TO EVEN RETURN A CALL. I BELIVE THIS TO BE A VERY SERIOUS CONCERN AS THE DRIVER...
